- Self-learning and andragogy
- E-learning and its actors
- Distance and blended learning environments
- Design of distance learning activities and multimedia tools
- E-tutoring
- Networks and communities of practice
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The three main objectives of this course are to let the student be able to :
- design and implement distance or blended training environments
- design, produce and use digital educationnal ressources and tools used in distance or blended training
- develop a critical overview of different methodologies related to e-learning
- develop a critical and reflexive process on e-learning environment implementation
- establish links between the concepts of self-learning and distance learning (e-learning)
- have an overview of different tools useful in a training context and related to learning, communication, collaboration and evaluation
- use several digital tools linked to the course topics and activities (e.g. Internet browser, electronic mail, evaluation software, forums, chat, editing software (presentation, word processor, wiki, ...), distance learning platforms, videoconference, computerized testing, etc.) in order to search for information, evaluate multimedia resources, produce documents, communicate, debate, collaborate, manage training and learning activities and self-evaluate
- describe and argue actors' roles in a distance learning environment, especially those of the e-tutor in different types of distance learning environments
- argue added value of digital technology uses to communicate and train in different adults' training contexts
- know the different steps in the design to specify a distance training environment
- design a scenariogram
- implement a course on a distance learning platform
- analyze hybrid learning environments by referring to the HYSUP typology
- discuss conditions of success and obstacles to the creation and animation of community of practice or networking
- produce a pedagogical video to be integrated into an e-learning training system
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
- Sub-groups activities (e.g. case analysis) in face-to-face and at a distance
- Video clip design and production
- Teacher's lectures face-to-face or online
- Demonstrations
- Flipped classroom: RQAT method (Reading - Questions from the learners - Answers by the teacher - Test) or RSD (Reading Synthesis Debate)
- Practical work based on the use of different services of documents edition, communication and sharing of information
- Design and implementation of a distance learning scenario
- E-mail and use of the eCampus platform to interact with the professor about individual work management
- Concrete learning and communication distance or blended activities (f.i. through the use of a distance learning platform)
- Keeping an individual roadbook including reflecting comments on the activities carried out and the learning process
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The course consits in a blended learning environment combining face-to-face activities (3 hours sessions) and distance activities.
Recommended or required readings
Notes and resources are available online.
Assessment methods and criteria
Written work / report
Additional information:
Professor's expectations: Active learners, having critical points of views, able to learn themselves to different techniques and to make links with other courses.
The assessment is based on two parts
1. The realization, performed in duo or trio, of an online or hybrid course.
Each group will give a description of the training environment built including (a) the description of the actors and their roles, (b) a scenariogram describing several aspects of the learning scenario. Furthermore, the training device have to be (c) implemented on a learning management system and include some resources with, at least, (d) one educational video.
2. The keeping of a roadbook
Each student will complete a roadbook (based on a canvas) during the course. He/she will be evaluated on the quality of the activities and the reflexion on his/her learning (bonus).
The two parts must be provided in order to validate the final score. Furthermore, students must provide their works on time, otherwise those will not be taken into account in the final score (cf. "Règlement des études et des examens" - Art. 38 §2).
In his/her written work, students must
- Respect the typographic rules
- Use APA standards to quote the authors and establish the bibliography
- use a style sheet and respect ergonomic rules in the production of electronic documents
- Respect the spelling and grammatical rules
- ...not plagiarize!
NB: The teacher can chose to make an oral examen if she has doubt on the collaborative aspect of the realization of the training device
The evaluation remains unchanged regardless of the health measures that will be in place, except that the various documents presenting the training environment created can be sent ONLY in electronic version.
Work placement(s)
Work placements in educational technologies are proposed by the CRIFA (Centre de Recherche sur l'Instrumentation, la Formation et l'Apprentissage) team.
Organizational remarks
Warning, the first class session (which takes place the first week of the new school year - 15/9/2021) is fully online and asynchronous (= the student can realise it at the time that suits him/her the best, but obligatorily BEFORE the second class session). As a result, there will be no one in the classroom.
To have access to the documents needed to carry out this first session, send an email to natasha.noben@uliege.be. as soon as possible.
